Straw. Delicate nose of honeysuckle, hazelnuts, and iron filings. Pretty. A little butter. Palate is similar, understated, buttercream, nuts, flowers. And then pretty fantastic length. Really good but a lesser aristocrat. (My wine.) — 10 years ago

Fruit for the Cuvée Dis Vin Secret is mostly from the 2005 vintage, and is a blend of 80% Pinot Meunier, 15% Chardonnay, and 5% Pinot Noir. Biodynamic farming has bestowed discreet minerality to this elegant Cuvée, along with voluptuous notes apple galette, freshly-baked croissant, quince and buttercream frosting. Pale gold in the glass, with a fine bead, it glides softly across the palate, with medium acidity and a vibrant spicy note of nutmeg or baking spice on the finish. Lovely. — 11 years ago

2012 opened in 2015. Super tight for quite a while. Then the flavor changes by the moment. My favorite is the ribbon of panache - pure chocolate and buttercream without cheap milkiness. — 11 years ago

Looks like viscous, golden, motor-oil. Smells like sugar frosted black coffee grounds. Tastes like light - bulb filament and buttercream. Sweet, sweet madeira how I live thee. *hiccup* This special reserve bual reminds me of a jungle cat with a topaz collar. *hiccup* Yeah that'll do.... — 10 years ago

I've tasted Tardieu-Laurent Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and fell in love—the 2008 Hermitage blanc sports a nose of buttercream frosting, soft orchard fruits, orange marmalade and toasted hazelnuts. Round, silky and decadent, it's showing nicely now. There is a delicious interplay of oak and acid, fruit and toasted but notes. We served this with pan seared scallops and the roasted halibut encrusted with nuts and herbs. Sumptuous and lovely. — 11 years ago
